- Quickly identify alloys like stainless steels, nickel-based superalloys, brass, and bronze in 2–3 seconds.
- Enhanced processing speed cuts down on wait time and keeps metal flowing through your yard.
Built to Withstand Scrap Yard Conditions
- IP54/55 rated for dust and splash resistance—ready for scrapyard grit and weather.
- Drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards to survive rough handling and daily use.
- Reliable operation from –10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F) in hot summer yards or winter conditions.
- Backed by a 3-year warranty, minimizing downtime and maximizing ROI.
Light Element Detection – The Best Aluminum Sorting in the Industry
- Detects light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) for unparalleled accuracy in aluminum sorting.
- Distinguish between close-grade aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061 vs 6063) with confidence.
- Essential for processors and yards handling mixed aluminum scrap and high-value aerospace materials.
- Ensures premium aluminum alloys are identified and properly priced—no more costly mis-sorts.
Scrap-Focused Analysis Modes
The Vanta Element-S includes all the essential modes scrap recyclers need:
- Alloy Plus Mode: Fast, accurate sorting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including: aluminum alloys, steel, nickel, copper alloys, titanium, etc.
- Catalytic Converter Mode: Analyze Pt, Pd, Rh content in converters for instant valuation.
- Precious Metals Mode: Verify gold karat and silver purity in high-value scrap.
- Electronic Materials Mode: Target metals in circuit boards and e-scrap, including Cu, Au, Ag, and Pb for compliance.
